Have FAQ about coaching?

You might have had a recent insight you want to now put to action and learn how you can make the switch or transformation. You might be stuck in a job that contradicts your values and you’re struggling with how to handle this without hurting your soul.

Your desire and longing is to have a more environmentally friendly impact in your life. This impact can be technical, political or social. You might want to transform into having a more enjoyable and satisfying life, and feel like you want to do something that matters in the world. You’re looking for an ally who gets it, and helps you get there.

Stepping into a relationship with a coach can seem overwhelming. But let me reassure you. Everything we discuss is 100% confidential. And although I am not your therapist, I am your ally and our relationship will be based on trust. As your coach, I will help you focus on what is either working or not in your world today, and will encourage you to discover your own abilities to achieve a transformative and fulfilling future.

Schedule an information. This is your opportunity to get your questions answered. At the end of the 15 minute consultation, you will be provided with an overview of my coaching prices and packages so if you decide to hire me, you will be familiar with your options.

Or, book a more thorough Complimentary Session today. This includes filling out a questionnaire and evaluating whether we are a good fit. Either way, you are under no obligation to make a decision.

Everything you share with me during your coaching sessions is 100 percent confidential and the setting is as private as you desire. I mainly conduct on-line coaching sessions and go-on site for aspects team coaching packages.

The primary focus of coaching is to clarify where you are today, what is working for you and what is not working and how you propose to reach your goals. We will not emphasize the past unless you believe that doing so is essential for your future well-being and success.

I have worked for more than 18 years. During this time I have helped thousands of people enhance their well-being and achieve their goals. My experience includes managing successful life transitions and advising on life-work balance, as well as physical alignment education.

I firmly believe that homework is important if you are to achieve your goals. Clients often tell me that doing homework was actually fun and affirming. I refer to it as HOME-PLAY as in the play we learn to most.

What is the difference between coaching and advice? digitalmedia
2015-02-21T22:40:35+00:00

A life coach does not offer advice. Instead I will challenge and encourage you to discover your own ability to understand yourself and your needs, vision and goals in order to make the choices that will help you achieve your transformative vision for a fulfilling future.

In this session you and I will learn something about each other and create an alliance so we can work together in a more effective way. This session establishes a foundation for the coaching relationship and set your coaching goal and a process on which to build your vision for the future.

Do I have to pay if I do not show for a session? digitalmedia
2015-02-21T22:52:38+00:00

Yes, I value your time and my time equally. In order to help you reach your goals we must work together as a team. I ask that you provide 48 hours notice if you need to change your appointment. Otherwise, the missed meeting time will count and be subtracted from your monthly amount of meetings.

When are the meetings? In the daytime, night time or on the weekend? digitalmedia

All on-line sessions take place between Monday and Friday during the day and early evening Pacific time zone to accommodate clients in Europe and across North America. My onsite team sessions are generally during regular business hours of the local time zone.

In a specialized method of conversation containing many questions, I will help you identify any obstacles in your life that you have not already overcome. My unique co-active coaching process also includes physical alignment education as it has a fundamental impact on your confidence and courage. In our discussions, I will help you clarify your goals and visions and together we develop your motivation and an action plan by which to attain them.
